In my point of view, the association is certainly a do-ocracy as is the
Drupal project at large.

People who only want to be a PM or BM because it is cool should really
reconsider their application.

Note, that this voting privileges for Permanent members are in fact
quite limited. They can elect the board on the general assembly and also
vote on changes to the statutes (if there are any proposed). After that
the board runs the day-to-day (or rather month-to-month) business.
The general assembly is usually held once per year only.

Cheers,
